Overview

The Widener University's online Liberal Studies program provides a solid foundation for a wide range of careers.

Key Features

As you undertake broad, interdisciplinary study in the liberal arts and sciences, your problem solving and communication skills will stand out to a variety of employers, especially those in business and government. A liberal studies degree is also a good foundation for most graduate and professional programs, including law school.

With the assistance of an academic advisor, you can customize your education to meet your specific interests and goals by picking a minor and/or fast-tracking your way to a master's degree. Plus, with the ability to transfer up to 90 credits—including college credits and prior life experience—you can complete your degree in a fast, convenient, and affordable way.

You'll learn to think critically and communicate effectively in oral and written discourse and graduate with the attributes associated with professional and civic leadership.
